Letter Fronted Football Uniforms - My take!

With the Wisconsin and Nebraska unis that were worn on the field this past year, and throw in Louisiana-Lafayette's Fleur-Di-Lis fronted uniforms, I decided to do my own mock-ups for rivalries around the nation. I used historical photos and some personal pizzazz to create theses prototypes.

Minot Demonicorns - 2012 Fantasy team

Here is my 2012 Fantasy team for Russell's league:

The Minot Demonicorns!

Darn you Robot Unicorn Attack for inspiring me!

Here we go with the fashion show - Oregon eat your hearts out!!

Credit goes to Tim E. O'Brien for the template design.

Colors are Blood Red, Copper, Obisidian and TEARS!!! (that's what I'm calling their white unis)

Yes, that's houndstooth on the shoulders, striping and on the helmet. Rapid City has the Argyle, Minot has the Houndstooth... or should I say "HELLSTOOTH!"

Anchorage Orcas - another Fantasy Football Concept

I've been meaning to share this and here the set is. It's for one of my Fantasy Football teams and I hope you enjoy it! I may have overdone it with the stripe down the middle of the helmet. Not enough references to Orcas in sports. The bottom uniform is a throwback.
